PHP settings

You can choose your website's PHP version and some main settings. In the dashboard: Hosting → website name → PHP.

PHP version

From the PHP version menu choose among the versions available on the server (8 and later).

Before changing version check that your website supports it: themes, plugins and code written for old versions may stop working. If that happens, switch back to the previous version.
